you.”
    The glimmer in his eyes told me it was more than okay with him. He said, “Stay as long as you want. I’m in no hurry for you to go anywhere.”
    “I like that you always say what’s on your mind,” I told him. “You’re not out to win someone over for your own benefit or hold back to protect yourself. That’s very rare.”
    “Not really. You’re the same way.”
    “Oh I have plenty of defense mechanisms,” I admitted with a laugh. But then something profound occurred to me and I found myself saying, “The world I live in isn’t exactly known for warmth and sincerity. Scottsdale can be a very superficial and pretentious town. Not everyone is that way, of course. But more so than not. I guess that’s why I don’t talk about where I come from or let people know who I really am.”
    “Why do you stay? The magazine?”
    I nodded. “And the people I work with, as I mentioned. They’re all very different and all very wonderful. I actually don’t live in Scottsdale. Can’t afford it and I wouldn’t enjoy it if I did. North Phoenix is nice, much more down to earth. If I could convince my mom to move to Arizona, I’d be surrounded by a beautiful family. But she won’t leave Seattle because that’s where my father is buried.”
    He studied me a moment as he lifted a plump curl from my bare shoulder and rubbed the strands between his finger and thumb, as though sampling the texture. Finally, he said, “I can see you in an upscale environment like Scottsdale. Yet you fit in here at this race too. Sure, you stand out with your clothes and makeup, but there’s nothing wrong with that. You’ve got a sophisticated look. But you also seem comfortable here. Relaxed and natural and… I don’t know. As though you’re having a good time.”
    “I am having a good time. In fact, I’m having a great time.”
    My fingers had been hooked in the waistband of his jeans this entire time and I used the leverage to tug him closer to me.
    His soft laugh reverberated deep within me. His next words convinced me I was making the right decision by staying.
    “You got my adrenaline flowing. But all the major moves are up to you.”
    “Seems to me we’re on the same page.”
    “Consenting?” he asked with the lifting of a brow and a suggestive glint in his eyes that set my pulse racing again.
    “I’m still here, aren’t I?”
    Another low groan fell from his lips. Desire flashed in his blue irises and I couldn’t stay away from him a second longer.
    My hands splayed over his cut abs and then moved upward to his chest. Without missing a beat, his arms wound around my waist and he pulled me to him. In a surprisingly daring move on my part, I shifted a hand to the back of his head and stretched on tiptoe, needing the extra height despite my four-inch heels, to plant a very solid kiss on him.
    I didn’t retain control for long, though. Ky’s head lowered so I was no longer on my toes and he took over the kiss with what could only be described as a scorching-hot lip-lock that commanded my passion and conveyed his.
    His tongue delved deep at the same time one of his hands left my waist and eased between us, moving upward to palm a breast and squeeze it almost roughly. My body reacted instantly to the aggressive touch and a moan lodged in my throat as fire roared through me.
    His other hand shifted from the small of my back to my ass. He cupped a cheek and pressed me tighter against him. I felt his erection and heat and—in a strangely enlightened, visceral way—his need for me. It mirrored my own need.
    I let him have his way with me. The hand on my chest quickly slipped under my top to cup my breast more intimately. I felt the warmth of his skin through the satin and lace material of my bra and though it made my insides burn, I craved so much more. I desperately wanted skin-on-skin contact. I wanted to feel his hands on my naked body. I wanted to feel my bare breasts pressed to his bare chest. I wanted it
